Not every place has a unique view that is unforgettable, and Scotland is fortunate to be a place to be remembered and imagined. It can be used to describe Scotland. It is unique in the UK.
The natural scenery such as lakes, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and oceans makes people feel immersed in the sky and the tragic and tragic, letting people fall for it.
Itinerary:
Edinburgh-Glasgow-Lomemount-Scottish Highlands (pathway)-Glenco Grand Canyon (via)-Three Sisters (pathway)-Nors Lake source (Fort Augustus , Augustusburg) - Inverness
along the A82 of Scotland's most beautiful scenic road, we came to the long-awaited Scottish Highlands. Passing through the quiet and wide Glencoe Gorge, it was once the location of famous movies such as "Brave Heart". We are all on the road to the vastness and tragic of the Scottish Highlands. Because the weather is fine, even if it is taken from the car. The scenery that comes out is also very beautiful. The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is not at one of the attractions, but on the way.

Scottish Loch Ness
Loch Ness, also known as Ness Lake, is located in the Great Glen in the northern Scottish Highlands of the United Kingdom. The lake is 37 kilometers long, 2.4 kilometers wide at its widest point, with an average depth of 200 meters and a maximum depth of 298 meters. The lake never freezes all year round, with steep banks and dense forests on both sides. Like some deep lakes in the Scottish Highlands and Scandinavia, Loch Ness is said to have a water monster. As for the possibility of the existence of the water monster, perhaps it is a lonely surviving plesiosaur, but it continues to attract the curiosity of tourists.

The low-lying craters accumulated in the jungle are covered with quiet yellowing leaves
The summer of England has slipped away in the early morning of September.
Clodden is also located 5 km outside Inverness. The site of the Battle of Crowden in 1746
the open plain was covered with yellow weeds
only a little purple vegetation has never been seen
locals told me that this is the pinnacle in this season Very common
barrened weeds and deadly purple pinnacles
black clouds that are pressed to the half of the sky plus the black umbrellas of past pedestrians look like the scythe of death
in the history of the long river in the same year Fierce war

Edinburgh set off for the Scottish Highlands. In fact, I didnt have much expectations for the highlands before I left, because the weather was still very bad in those days. I thought that I would just see how magnificent the land that William was using for life. Ok, however, I didnt think there was a bigger surprise waiting for me.
The beauty of the Scottish Highlands is epicly spectacular, the sea breeze is like a never-ending song, the deep blue mountains are covered with a purple sky, and the edges of the sky are inlaid with pink clouds, as if this layer The sky is a little smaller for the Scottish Highlands; from a distance, the large cobblestones vent from the mountains and then rush into a deep green grassland; and the Scottish lakes that are scattered everywhere, always reflecting the sky Change. The scenery of the highlands is really super beautiful. Standing in the vast sky and facing the mountains and grasslands in the distance, you can know how small you are.

The round trip to Loch Ness also includes the ancient Urquhart Castle by the lake.
The ancient Urquhart Castle stands majestically in the heart of Loch Ness in Scotland, in the Urquh Bay, one of the most important monuments on the Scottish Highlands.
After numerous wars, the castle is left with broken walls.
But on the water side, the desolation of the mood, coupled with the gust of wind from the Scottish highlands, makes the castle in front of it more beautiful.
It is said that the castle was built around 1600.
The wreckages that are now seen are mainly caused by the defenders themselves in 1691 to prevent them from being occupied by the Jacobs.
Below these remains is a fortress site in the 580s AD. The history of the
Ockert Castle dates back to the 6th century. The ancient English Picts built a wooden castle in this position, and the castle now seen was built in the 13th century by Alan Durt. of.
Because of the fortress in the Gorgon Gorge, the military position is very important, so Urquhart Castle has long been owned by the royal family.
No matter how fierce wars have happened here, how many soldiers have sacrificed their lives. In the age of peace, the flourishing flowers are a memorial to the bloody history. The battlefield of ancient warfare is now transformed into a museum.
Brian squats at us, don't step on these lonely stones, because the underground is the remains of ancient soldiers. The scenery of the highlands reminds me of the seven days of the Tibet Ring Road. The hills of the highlands are undulating, and there is snow on the top of the mountain. After the fall, it flows down and nourishes the rich land of the highlands.
As far as the eye can see, the undulating land forms a natural level, the cedar trees on the hillside, the shrubs of the nearby farms, the star-shaped yellow flowers and white flowers on the grass, dotted with fat sheep and laid-back cows.
The clouds in the highlands have increased, the sunshine in the vicinity is strong and enthusiasm, and the hillsides in the distance are overcast.
Sometimes, the entire earth is covered by the warmth of the sun, glittering. The resources of the
highlands are extremely abundant and the land is fertile. People and animals living here do not have to struggle for resources to survive. They have the gift of nature.
